  1. Proton driver front end test standUpdate / UKNF Meeting / Sep-04 David FindlayISIS Accelerator Division STVLTVS EST QVI ACCELERATORIBVS CVRANDIS VICTVM QVAERIT

  2. Why a front end test stand? • Prove key elements of high power proton accelerators • Applications Generic Spallation neutron sources Neutrino factories Transmutation machines Tritium generators Energy amplifiers Training / Young people / Real hardware Specific ISIS upgrades UKNF UK academic accelerator community

  3. ISIS • World’s leading spallation neutron source • Natural wish to stay at or near front • Upgrade strategies important • UK Neutrino Factory • Strong drive from UKNF community • PPARC support for proton driver R&D • Synergies with possible ISIS upgrades • UK academic community • Imperial-CCLRC joint appointment • Extend university accelerator centres to protons

  4. Alternatively • Condensed matter studies • High energy physics • Reintroducing accelerators into UK universities

  5. High energy physics in a nutshell?

  6. What’s in a front end? • Ion source, LEBT, RFQ and beam chopper • Why does it matter? • Where beam quality set for entire machine • But suitable front ends not yet demonstrated • ISIS 0.16/0.24 MW Now • PSI 0.75 MW Now, but CWSNS 1 MW Near future • JPARC 1 MW Near future • NF 4 MW — a big step! Further away • [ISIS 1, 2, 5 MW Plans]

  7. Proton driver front end test stand at RAL • ISIS Accelerator Division CCLRC/ASTeC • Imperial College PPARC • Warwick University PPARC • EU support • Ion sources HPRI-CT-2001-50021 • Beam chopper HIPPI/CARE/ESGARD

  14. Infrastructure issues • Optimum compromise amongst expenditure, progress, infrastructure specification, and provision for future • E.g. “Rolls-Royce” electricity & water infrastructures would prejudice progress • Purpose of front end test stand? • Generic • For demonstrating production of suitable beams • Not necessarily front end of actual HPPA • Get as far as can as economically as possible while not blocking future up-rating

  15. Example: RF for RFQ • 75 keV  2.5 MeV needs 1–2 MW RF driver • 2 ms, 50 pps 10% duty factor • 100–200 kW RF mean power • anode dissipation also ~100–200 kW • TH116 RF valve (ISIS linac) Panode 70 kW max. • TH628 (Diacrode) necessary — largely unknown • 2 ms, 10 pps 2% duty factor • 20–40 kW mean power •  Can use existing ISIS linac RF systems (buying ahead key components of ~50 TH116s) ~400 kW PSU

  16. Elements of front end test stand • H– ion source — Development requiredBased on ISIS H– ion source • LEBT — Revision of new ISIS LEBT sufficient • RFQ — Base on ISIS & ESS 4-rod RFQsMost expensive item: ~1–2 MW RF driver • Beam chopper — Development requiredBased on ESS concept

  17. The ISIS Ion Source Penning H– ion source Surface plasma source (SPS) 35 mA through 0.6 × 10 mm aperture, ~600 mA/cm2 200–250 s, 50 Hz,~1% duty cycle 20 ml/min H2 3 g/month Cs ~0.17  mm-mrad (rms)

  18. Development goals • Double output current, 35 mA  70 mA • Increase pulse length 200 µs  1–2 ms • Improve emittance • Maximise lifetime • Dedicated Ion Source Development Rig (ISDR) constructed • ISDR “duplicates” equipment on the ISIS, and allows ion source development work without affecting ISIS operations
